So this is the stuff I'm smoking on now. The hits are not heavy cough inducers, and the exhale flavor is pretty complex. It doesn't favor that harsh, earthy heaviness, but has a much sweeter, flowery bouquet with a very pleasant numbing effect to the tongue and gums. I realize the high is still developing, but the early smoke is pretty great.
The smell when twisting the jar open releases a 'spicy sting' that has has been the case with all my grows. It seems there is a 'signature smell' to the OG's I grow. I don't know if it's the proportions of nutes I use, the nutes themselves, or some other method I use, but I've never smelled an OG from a shop that smells quite like this. It stings hard and the burn stays in your nose for several seconds if you take a deep sniff. It fills a room even if you open a small jar for an instant.
A sunlight shot. They'll look better when they compact and cure up.
EDIT: Oh crap! I forgot to mention that I'm almost finished with the book! On schedule for a weekend completion. At the very latest, it'll be ready Tuesday as I might take advantage of the long weekend to add just a few more pages for you! How swell am I?
